Congrats but I’m still here from January 2020. My interview is March 19th.

Name 1 Us territory.?

who’s the president now?

capital of my state?

We elect a us representative for how many years?

write: the people elect congress

then, the officer asked the yes/no question part of the application. The officer asked if i wanted a name change, i was trying to get the name changed but the officer was having a hard time with the computer, then i told her to forget about it. Few more questions about wife and kids. And that was it. Recommended for approval. Time

of the interview around 25 mins.

Total time 2hrs 25 mins. 
status changed online to “Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled”

and that was all folks!
I think i’m the last one here from January 2020. Haha!

Anytime!!! 👍

Yes, I've seen that before with some colleagues in Costa Rica also. Very interesting. 

 

Personally, is there any sadness that you felt that that was the best course of action? Any loss of "identity"? 

No to be honest,  i think identity goes more with my beliefs and personality.

But it was a little bittersweet to remove my mother last name, in Latin American countries usually Mom is the one who takes care of the kids, Dad is the worker who bring the food and money to the house.

I talked about it with her and she understood my situation. I think that was the difficult part, but glad she was on my side.

Just now, Winterbeard said:

Out of interest why do people change their first names? I have no malice in my question, just genuinely curious. 

In my case, my country use the following pattern [First Name - Second Name - Father Last Name - Mother Last Name] which make it extremely long for legal documents here in the US, because of the characters allowed in their systems. I'm keeping my first name and the initial letter for the second name and only the first last name. Not a big change, but for legal documents it will make a difference.

Anyone from Massachusetts got new interview date? My field office is Lawrence MA. I applied January 27th,  got biometric February 20th, since they are still reviewing my case for N400 nothing is outstanding. They will let me  know if they need anything from me.

I attented my interview today at the Atlanta Field office based on 5 year rule.

Overall- very pleasant experience. I have waited about 30-45 minutes to be called.

Officer was pleasant and asked questions professionally. 

I was recommended for approval and he advised that Oath Ceremony will be scheduled and mailed.

 

Civic Questions was:

 

Who is the Commander in Chief of the Military?

What is the name of the President?

 What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful?

How many Senators are there?

What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?

What does the President’s Cabinet do?

 

Reading test was: What state has the most people:

Writing: California has the most people.

 

He went through N400 quickly and verified some questions and proceeded with approval.

 

As January Filers, we started off with an approval, let this be the trend !!  Good Luck!

 

 

 

Amazing! Congrats on the approval.

Super dumb question, but if I file online, do I have to do it all in one session?  
 

Ideally, I’d like to fill out the application questions ASAP, and then add in the documents after, without losing the progress on the questions.  

you don't have to do it in one session, it saves for a month, and every time you update any information and save, the month update as well.

Just filled and sent my application this morning, let the wait game begin 😂😅

You should only use the address where you lived physically as this is used to determine residence in the US. Many of us have P.O. boxes and these do not matter for this purpose. 

Also, by LAW, you are required to file AR-11 every time you move (till you get your citizenship), so assuming you did that. This info can be cross checked in their system. 

 

Thanks!!!

Could not understand your question?  Currently, do you live with family member's house or do you have your own place?

Sorry if i did not explain myself. I live on my own, but i used those addresses before as mailing.

Since they show up in my credit record, probably they get access to that in a background check.

I don’t want to get a denial because of that. So my question is. Should I include those addresses?
